In teaching a number of subjects, including Latin, French, English, and sciences, I have taken on and retained students for a number of years. This has given me strong communication skills, required sustained commitment, and taught me to manage my own time and clients.

Whilst working at Belmond in the Trains and Cruises division I have had the opportunity to work alongside a number of teams in inplementing and documenting their sustainable development plans. Working accross a number of products to the end of furthering their individual progress and providing a report the overall efficacy of the sustainable development process has required analytical and critical skills as well as strong teamwork and interpersonal skills. Equally, a portion of the internship was conducted entirely in French further developing my language skills. Gaining insight into such unique and iconic products through the lense of sustainability has been an incredible learning experience which has allowed me to couple my passion for sustainability with my love of the hospitality industry.

Experience working at a high end hospitality company gave me an eye for detail and an understanding of the standards expected of luxury hospitality. With guests from all around the world I had the opportunity to improve my language skills in a working environment. Living as well as working alongside colleagues also further developed my teamwork skills.

Taking on the role of a chalet host included management of the entire workings of the chalet : from front of house, to the kitchen, to housekeeping. Working in a small team this role developed my practical skills as well as transferable skills such as teamwork and time management.

As editor of the Poet’s Stone magazine I provided contributions, compiled works, made aesthetic decisions, and marketed the magazine to my peers. This formative experience developed my teamwork skills and gave me a first taste of working on a print publication.
